As it happens, I come equipped with a penis and a larger dose of
several hormones than some of the readers and posters in this group.
When I first read Cheryl's account of what happened to her at NYU, I
was disgusted with the whole sordid way in which she was treated, and
very concerned that the just and honorable thing happen to those
involved in what she described. I *want* sexual harassment to cease,
and I *want* the people who perpetrate it to be prosecuted and made
responsible for their behaviour. However I would also *like* people
who are still justifiably emotional about the events in their life to
avoid dumping all their angst onto a newsgroup. After I plough through
the anger, the swearing, the libel, the endless abuse and ranting and
raving in her subsequent posts, its getting harder and harder to care
anymore.
Dr. Stewart, you have an impressive and admirable resume. Don't spoil
our impressions of you further by continuing with the spleen-venting
that you demonstrate in the quotes above. Let us know what happens in
your court case, and I hope that perhaps the SFI is a place where you
will not find sexual harassment all around you.

We are joy. We are light. We are darkness and we are night. We are hands and
heads and ears and nose. We are feet, fingers limbs and toes. We all, we all.
We are bouncing on this big world ball. We pull triggers. We play with guns.
We play with shoelaces and we twist our tongues. We are kisses, we are hugs.
